1) When is it -27°C? 57:48
2) Riddle answers: 1:17:19
3) Knee injury - saw a doc, getting scans, doing exercises, and ordered backcountry skis. Been wanting to try them for a while and snowshoes really trigger my knee so it's worth a shot.

This year, I lost my partner and my parents. Your vids, Jon, have kept me going and getting through each and every day. Thank you so much for showing me there is reason to carry on with so much beauty in the world.

My Dad and I would go to Canada, to fish, all through my high school years. Our last trip was when I was 27 y/o. He died that September. I haven't been back, camping or fishing, since. I read a lot and I think you would enjoy Robert Frost...if you don't already. I share your love of solace, of nature. I began watching you and vicariously I am there. Seeing the stars, the aurora borealis. Feeling the world slow down and for a brief time, my Dad and I are back together. Thanks. Your videos make an older guy feel younger. You're a good man. God bless.

Jon, hands down your BEST video to date. This video really demonstrated not only your physical toughness and well rounded skill set, but also your mental fitness. Not many people realize the determination required to camp out in deep freezing temps, the actually work involved, and the mental gymnastics that are constantly challenging. Not to mention the editing, drone footage, and music score. You did such a terrific job that several times throughout this video I felt you, your pain, and your struggle. Incidentally, this is your only video that I've watched twice back to back, that's how amazing I thought this was. In fact, I choked up near the end..that was raw, brother. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you're on the mend sooner than later. In the meantime, keep your stick on the ice and safe travels, Jon.

Your videos are like an ASMR experience in their calming sensory sounds and sights. Crunching snow, cracking logs, trickling water, howling wind, horizontal snow, you are an artist at capturing the chilly solitude. The editing is perfect in its pacing. So much demanding work goes in on your part to trekking and camping but we get the delights of the finished product and are drawn into your love of nature. My partner got 3/4 of your riddles easily! The beauty of nature is magnified in winter, I think, because the landscape is stripped to an elemental simplicity. a black(ish) and white pallette with brightly coloured lichen crusted rocks or orangey tannin waterfalls that jump out at you for relief. I love the same components of a wild windswept seashore. Sand, sea and sky. SW Ontario is pretty boring at this time of year especially with such a mild winter, so its a joy to see the sparkle of snow and hear the redpolls again.

This is the ONLY channel that I can honestly stay focused on spending an hour plus watching.
I find tranquility and relaxation in your content... you keep us engaged.

Thank you.

My 13 YO son and I watched this video together. First, awesome. Second you have inspired me to take him camping. As he loves the outdoors. Loved this video. Thank you.

My brother passed away in 2007 in his sleep, he was only 47 years old. He was a Poet. What I find remarkable is how much you resemble him. I wish that I could send you a photo of him. When I subscribed to your channel a few months ago and viewed my first video, I said that you were more than a film maker, you were a Poet. This video here just further confirms that. And even if the word 'beautiful' is used a thousand times, it beautifully describes what I see and feel when I watch your videos. Thank you. ❤️

[cheriezamel]

Jon the world is a much better place with you in it. Your love of and respect of nature shines through your beautifully filmed videos. I love how you show us how to appreciate and love the beauty of winter. One of your best videos. I loved the riddles and the poem brought me to tears. 💚

[davkumi]

Jon, you are so much more than some "macho" guy conquering the wilderness. You are a gifted man in expression of beauty and emotion and love through your outdoor experiences. That is why a woman like me so much enjoys and I would add benefits from your videos.❤❤

[AGirlFromMaine]

I've been watching your videos for 3 days straight, getting ready for an annual remote winter ice fishing trip and to better my filming for my videos. I just finished watching this video from start to finish, and you got me choked up at the end. There is nothing more humbling then the love for this earth we were given to adventure and love. I'm glad there are still people out there that cherish these lands. Happy travels from Northern Maine!

[CurtisMassey]

Man, your videos are fantastic. They're more than beautiful. Every time I feel like I'm experiencing the cold, the wet, the fatigue, the hunger, the joy and the peace right along with you. And the riddles are awesome! You share with me the outdoors in a way that I really appreciate. I don't go out, but your videos make me really want to. Thanks man.

[briandonovan]

John, having gone through some challenging health issues recently, I found that you and Xander's videos have been calming, inspiring, humorous, informative, and beautiful. They have been crucial in getting me through some scary nights where anxiety has taken over and played tricks on my brain and body. The end of this video was one of the only times where I've seen you as anything other than a wood splitting, canoe paddling, fish releasing machine. We are acutely aware that you do these trips for yourself, but the videos for us...and we are extremely grateful.

[missionwilderness]

It's so great to see another video of Lost Lakes. Can't wait to watch and check in on your recent adventures!

[WheatThin]

Jon you've really elevated the cinematography aspect of these videos in the last year. I always look forward to your winter camping videos during the warmer months but I think this one is definitively the best yet. The drone shots of course but the closeup shots and your appreciation for the beauty of mundane scenes really takes the channel beyond most camping/lifestyle content. I really appreciated your frank discussion at the end, and the poem got to me as it got to you. But, I think more impressively, the simple shots of the spectacular beauty of just snow on the ground starting at 1:02:50 also moved me. I hope you continue loving and sharing these adventures with us for years to come.

[terribly]

Jon, every one of your videos is an absolutely stunning, moving piece of art. Thank you for what you do.

[ericscholey]

I cannot believe the number of times you touched my soul in this single video. I have been watching your videos for years and you never disappoint. How proud you must feel doing what you love and sharing with those who listen. And then to reach out so deep into them to cause such a raw reaction to your craft I applaud you. THANK YOU and never stop.

[danhastings]

One of the top outdoor channels on YouTube, no doubt about it! Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[midcoflyfishing]

Now that I’ve watched the whole episode yet again I’m left with wonder, reverence, and peace. Incredible work Jon. Heart is full. Thank you.

[ericadam]

Hey Jon. Within a few hours vidéos were posted by Joe, Jim, Xander, his brother and I chose to watch yours first like always and like always you deliver. Those riddles man. The piles of wood, the views…everything is always so great. Can’t say enough.
Thank you
